- Bio
- Susan McDonic's research interests include contemporary religious movements, international development, Africa, Asia and globalization. Specifically she has studied one of the world’s largest development organizations: World Vision, a faith based organization. This multi-sited work spans Canada and Ghana, West Africa and considers the connections and complications between them. Her current research expands upon her interests in development and religion and explores the complications of engaged Buddhism. She is particularly interested in the ways in which Buddhist philosophy might frame new paradigms of development intervention. Her interests take her to Northern India to work with, and advocate for, the Tibetan diaspora.
